Saturday Morning

I spoke with Trish late last night and than gave her nurse a call.

Last night she had Vanessa -- one of the handful of nurses that really makes me feel good leaving Trish alone at night. When I spoke to Trish she said that her legs hurt so bad that she didn't know how she would be able to function when she was discharged Sunday.

I called Vanessa and told her what Trish had just told me and asked her to include it on her chart and be sure the docs knew. Trish has been notorious for being agreeable with the docs in rounds and than complaining about stuff they should have known. Dr. Griffiths yelled at her about this before and I knew last night I had to call. Trish would kill me if she knew I called (so don't tell her please).

The ultra-sound of her legs showed no signs of thrombosis or any other issue, but the pain seems to be getting worse. Hopefully they will find something to make it better soon and if not, hold onto to her as an inpatient. I'll chat with Trish after rounds this morning and see what the current thinking is.
